Structure of shoe

ABSTRACT

A structure of shoe is formed of a shoe-forming piece through thermoplastic molding. The shoe-forming piece is formed in an integrated form through weaving a plurality of set yarns. The shoe-forming piece includes a first shoe cover and a second shoe cover. The first shoe cover and the second shoe cover are symmetric to each other. The first shoe cover includes a first shoe body and a first opening. The second shoe body includes a second shoe body and a second opening. The first opening and the second opening are coupled to each other. The first shoe body is inserted through the second opening to have the first shoe body received in the second shoe body and then subjected to thermoplastic molding to form the structure of shoe. As such, advantages of making the manufacturing process efficient and easy and reducing the manufacturing cost can be achieved.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an improved structure of shoe, and inparticular to an improved structure of shoe that is made through theprovision of a shoe-forming piece formed in an integrated form throughweaving a plurality of set yarns and thermoplastic molding of theshoe-forming piece so as to make the manufacturing process efficient andeasy and effectively reduce the manufacturing cost.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The purpose of shoes is to protect feet for safety in order to eliminatethe risk of being pierced. In order to protect the human feet, a usermust frequently wear the shoes for walking. This makes it possible tohave the feet long enclosed in the shoes. If the shoes are of poor airventilation, it is very easy to cause diseases of the feet.

Conventional shoes often suffer poor air ventilation in the entiretythereof due to the material used, or may even cause an uncomfortablefeeling. In addition, in the manufacturing process of the conventionalshoes, a large amount of the material used to make the shoes is wasteddue to the necessary operations of cutting and trimming. This causes anissue of environmental protection and also increases the cost ofmanufacturing shoes.

In view of this, the present invention aims to provide an improvedstructure of shoe that is made through the provision of a shoe-formingpiece formed in an integrated form through weaving a plurality of setyarns and thermoplastic molding of the shoe-forming piece so as to makethe manufacturing process efficient and easy and effectively reduce themanufacturing cost.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary object of the present invention is to provide an improvedstructure of shoe that is made through the provision of a shoe-formingpiece formed in an integrated form through weaving a plurality of setyarns and thermoplastic molding of the shoe-forming piece so as to makethe manufacturing process efficient and easy and effectively reduce themanufacturing cost.

To realize the above object, the present invention provides an improvedstructure of shoe, which comprises a shoe body and an opening and isformed of a shoe-forming piece through thermoplastic molding and ischaracterized in that the shoe-forming piece is formed in an integratedform through weaving a plurality of set yarns. The shoe-forming piececomprises a first shoe cover and a second shoe cover. The first shoecover and the second shoe cover are symmetric to each other. The firstshoe cover comprises a first shoe body and a first opening. The secondshoe body comprises a second shoe body and a second opening. The firstopening and the second opening are coupled to each other. The first shoebody is inserted through the second opening to have the first shoe bodyreceived in the second shoe body and then subjected to thermoplasticmolding to form the structure of shoe, wherein the first opening and thesecond opening, after the thermoplastic molding, collectively form theopening of the shoe and the first shoe body and the second shoe body,after the thermoplastic molding, collectively constitute the shoe body.As such, the manufacturing process is made efficient and easy and themanufacturing cost is effectively reduced. The entire structure islight-weighted and is easy to wear on a foot or carry to provide theeffects of air ventilation and comfortableness.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

With reference to the drawings and in particular to FIGS. 1-3, whichshow an improved structure of shoe, generally designated at 30,according to the present invention, the shoe 30 comprises a shoe body301 and an opening 30 and is formed through thermoplastic-molding of ashoe-forming piece 1. The shoe-forming piece 1 is formed by integrallyweaving a plurality of shaping yarns. The shoe-forming piece comprises afirst shoe cover 10 and a second shoe cover 20. The first shoe cover 10and the second shoe cover 20 are symmetrical to each other. The firstshoe cover 10 comprises a first shoe body 101 and a first opening 102and the second shoe cover 20 comprises a second shoe body 201 and asecond opening 202. The first opening 102 and the second opening 202 arecoupled to each other. The first shoe body 101 is inserted through thesecond opening 202 to have the first shoe body 101 received in thesecond shoe body 201 and then subjected to thermoplastic molding to formthe improved structure of shoe 30. The first opening 102 and the secondopening 202, after the thermoplastic molding, collectively form theopening 302 of the shoe and the first shoe body 101 and the second shoebody 201, after the thermoplastic molding, collectively constitute theshoe body 301. As such, the improved structure of shoe 30 is differentfrom the conventionally made shoes, for the conventional way of makingshoe requires trimming and cutting to complete the manufacture of shoe,but the improved structure of shoe 30 requires no specific trimming andcutting operations so that the process of shoe manufacturing is madeefficient and easy and capable of effectively lowering manufacturingcost. Further, the improved structure of shoe of the present inventionis manufactured to provide effects of air ventilation andconformableness for being worn by a user by taking advantage of theproperty of the shaping yarn and being formed by weaving a plurality ofshaping yarns. The structure, in the entirety thereof, islight-weighted, allowing easy wearing on a foot or carrying.

Further, the improved structure of shoe may additionally comprise othercomponents, such as a tongue, an outsole structure, and settingshoestring in string holes according to desired functions. Reference isfurther made to FIGS. 4 and 5.

Referring to FIG. 4, which is an exploded view showing the presentinvention combined with a tongue and an outsole structure, together withFIGS. 1-3, the improved structure of shoe 30 further comprises a tongue303, which is arranged in the opening 302. Further, an outsole structure305 is set under the shoe body 301. The tongue 303 is also made throughweaving a plurality of set yarns. Alternatively, the tongue 303 can beformed integrally by weaving the same set yarns. Thus, a user, when puton the shoe, does not feel irritated or uncomfortable at the foot and isprovided with the same effects of air ventilation and conformableness.

Referring to FIG. 5, which is an exploded view showing the presentinvention combined with a tongue, an outsole structure, and ashoestring, together with FIGS. 1-3, the improved structure of shoe 30comprises a plurality of string holes 304 at locations adjacent o theopening 302 and a shoestring 306 is set through the string holes 304.Further, the improved structure of shoe of the present invention isapplicable, according to the desired use thereof, to a mountain-hikingshoe, a water/ground dual-purpose shoe, all kinds of functional sportsshoes, an outdoor shoe, and an indoor shoe.

Based on the above description, the features of the present inventionare summarized as follows:

(1) The present invention is formed in an integrated form throughweaving a plurality of set yarns. This is different from theconventional way of shoe making, where special operations of trimmingand cutting are required. The present invention does not the specialoperations of cutting and trimming so that the manufacturing process isefficient and easy and can reduce the cost of manufacturing.

(2) The present invention provides effects of air ventilation andconformableness when worn by a user.

(3) The present invention is light-weighted for the entire structurethereof and is easy to wear or carry.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to thepreferred embodiments thereof, it is apparent to those skilled in theart that a variety of modifications and changes may be made withoutdeparting from the scope of the present invention which is intended tobe defined by the appended claims.
